The new line of natural pet food blends superior protein sources with real fruits and veggies
Portland, Ore. – Oct. 5, 2006 – Recognizing that discriminating pet owners want the best for their pets at every age, Castor & Pollux Pet Works® has introduced Natural ULTRAMIX® Canine and Feline Formulas.
Castor & Pollux – an innovative natural and organic pet products leader based in Oregon – created Natural ULTRAMIX formulas for cats and dogs in all stages of life, from puppy and kitten, to adult and weight management formulas, and even dog cookies. This natural pet food is available in an Adult Canine Formula, Adult Canine Weight Management Formula, Puppy Formula, Adult Feline Formula, Adult Feline Indoor Formula, Kitten Formula, and two flavors of Dog Cookies.
Natural ULTRAMIX Adult Canine and Adult Feline Formulas
Natural ULTRAMIX Adult Canine and Adult Feline Formulas blend six protein-rich ingredients (including #1 ingredient chicken, and turkey) and wholesome raw fruits and veggies that are added after the food is cooked to maintain their nutrients. Added to a dog or cat’s daily feeding regimen, the natural fruits and vegetables in Natural ULTRAMIX combine with highly digestible proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber in scientifically formulated canine and feline diets designed to optimize the health and well-being of your best friend.
The fruits and vegetables added to Natural ULTRAMIX include dried apples, carrots, bananas, papaya, and blueberries. Additional beneficial ingredients in Natural ULTRAMIX include flaxseed, glucosamine, chondroitin, prebiotics, and probiotics that, when combined, help prolong the life of pets.
The Adult Canine Formula is available in 3, 6, 15, and 30 pound bags; the Adult Feline Formula is available in 3, 6, and 15 pound bags.
Natural ULTRAMIX Canine Weight Management and Adult Feline Indoor Formulas
The Canine Weight Management and Adult Feline Indoor Formulas contain the same six protein-rich ingredients and wholesome raw fruits and vegetables as the Adult Canine and Adult Feline Formulas, but also contain a key ingredient to aid in weight management. Both formulas contain L-carnitine, a vitamin-like compound that aids in the reduction of stored body fat. The Adult Indoor Feline Formula also provides natural fiber sources that aid in the reduction of hairballs.
“It’s important for pets to maintain a healthy weight, especially indoor pets that don’t get as much exercise as their outdoor counterparts,” said Castor & Pollux Co-Owner and “Top Dog” Shelley Gunton. “Our Canine Weight Management and Adult Feline Indoor Formulas are designed to help pets maintain lean muscle mass and eliminate unnecessary body fat, ultimately keeping them healthier and happier.”
The Adult Feline Indoor Formula is available in 3, 6, and 15 pound bags; the Canine Weight Management Formula is available in 3, 6, 15 and 30 pound bags.
Natural ULTRAMIX Puppy and Kitten Formulas
The specially designed Puppy and Kitten Formulas contain DHA, a nutrient found in mother’s milk, to help support brain and vision development. Both formulas utilize an environmentally friendly, renewable natural source of DHA for a smart start.
Also, as with the adult formulas, the Puppy and Kitten Formulas contain essential proteins (including #1 ingredient chicken) for supporting the growth of strong muscles, plus Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids for a healthy skin and coat.
The Puppy Formula is available in 3, 6, and 15 pound bags; the Kitten Formula is available in 3 and 6 pound bags.
Natural ULTRAMIX Dog Cookies
Because Castor & Pollux knows that nutrition shouldn’t stop at the food dish, the Natural ULTRAMIX line also includes dog cookies in Peanut Butter and Cheese flavors.
Made with dried apples, cranberries, yogurt and carrots, the Natural ULTRAMIX Dog Cookies are a great training tool, and offer pet owners a great all-natural treat option.
The Dog Cookies are available in 16 oz. re-sealable bags.
